This package in Go provides functions to encode and decode in `base58check`, a specific `base58` encoding format for encoding Bitcoin addresses.

Functions:

```go

func Encode(string, string) (string, error) {} // takes the version and data as hexadecimal strings and returns the encoded string

func Decode(string) (string, error) {} // takes the encoded string and returns the decoded version prepended hexadecimal string

```

### Installation

```bash

go get github.com/anaskhan96/base58check

```

### Usage

```go

package main

import (

	"fmt"

	"log"

	"github.com/anaskhan96/base58check"

)

func main() {

	encoded, err := base58check.Encode("80", "44D00F6EB2E5491CD7AB7E7185D81B67A23C4980F62B2ED0914D32B7EB1C5581")

	if err != nil {

		log.Fatal(err)

	}

	fmt.Println(encoded) // 5JLbJxi9koHHvyFEAERHLYwG7VxYATnf8YdA9fiC6kXMghkYXpk

	decoded, err := base58check.Decode("1mayif3H2JDC62S4N3rLNtBNRAiUUP99k")

	if err != nil {

		log.Fatal(err)

	}

	fmt.Println(decoded) // 00086eaa677895f92d4a6c5ef740c168932b5e3f44

}

```
